I wouldn't be surprised.  We had snow on the deck this morning in the
Greater Vancouver area, that was washed away by rain by the end of
breakfast.  With a cold air mass moving in, one forecast source says
Vancouverites should expect a high of 1C and a low of -8C on Saturday.
As for snowmen... I was cycling in North Vancouver late in the day on
Tuesday and the cars coming down from the upper levels had snow on them,
and at least one of the North Shore ski hills, opens this weekend.  Given
the unusual cooperation at close quarters between 5 large squirrels (2
gray, 3 black) all urgently feeding from our bird feeder today, I'm
thinking our rainforest here may well go into snowforest mode.

And here I thought only Kayaks in the east needed that plug hanging down
from the front grill.
